My immediate ancestors  are  from County Durham,  but my great great great grandparents  were John  and Arabella BEALE nee LYNE of Margate. They are listed in  Pigots Directory  1839 as 'Baths'. I am trying to find out John and  Arabella's parents and am  hoping that someone on the list has a  connection. They were married 5  June 1804 St John Margate  (IGI).
